Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
Scarlet fever happens due to a streptococcal infection.
The treatment for it is 10 day course of antibiotics.
Along with symptomatic treatment.
As far as the diet is concerned.
You need to have a soft diet. Avoid oily and spicy foods. Drink plwnty of fluids.
You can apply calamine lotion on the rashes.
Consult a general physician in person for further evaluation and management.
Best regards.
